Welcome to the Sunday Surf, a tour of the best blogposts I've read throughout the week.

Sunday Surf is back! For today! I'm not promising to keep this up weekly as in the past, but every once in awhile, I have links and other resources I just wanna share. To make life easier for me, I'm going to embed them from the original share source. Hope that works-ish.

A new article in the journal Pediatrics is calling on health professionals to stop saying that breastfeeding is natural, arguing that doing so gives the impression that natural parenting practices are healthier. The authors have started a public campaign to end the positive use of the word natural, claiming that it is associated with such "problematic" practices as home birth, homeschooling and the rejection of GMO foods, and that natural parenting movements are interfering with vaccination efforts.

I was much more scared of this slide than the 17-month-old. He had a blast and was like, "Toddler area? Pfft."

Links throughout the week:

You can find a ton more great articles from me if you follow along on Twitter — natural parenting whatnots at @Hobo_Mama, homeschooling resources at @PirateFamilyFun, and writing-related tweets at @LaurenWaynecom. Hope to chat with you over there, and mention me if you have something great to share so I can retweet it!
